They have plenty of spunk that is for sure. They are highly active little fish. Watching 2 males show off staking their territory is very humorous. It reminds me of a child placing their thumbs in their ears and wiggling their fingers while blowing a raspberry.
They prefer a PH of about 7.5 to 8.0 and a GH of about 12 to 16.
The Furcata is considered an omnivorous, peaceful schooling fish but, be warned, they are hyperactive and swim darting around a tank. This could be stressful to other fish.
Although most sources say they spend most of their time around the middle and top of an aquarium I find that they spend most of their time virtually everywhere when kept in a large group. Mine seam to rarely school together though.
The Furcata is an egg layer. Breeding is considered easy but it is suggested that eggs be removed to prevent them from being eaten.
